Who are we?
A community of students and young healthcare professionals who offer our peers an integrated view on research and clinical practice, professional and personal growth, for the benefit of our patients.
Our vision
A generation of open-minded, responsible and proactive young healthcare professionals motivated to create initiatives that positively impact our education and healthcare system.
Our mission
To provide medical students with access to international mentors, research directions, and strengthen local networks – while creating learning opportunities for our dynamic team of volunteers.
Our Journey
Inspired by the symbolic journey of a pawn transforming into the most powerful piece on the chessboard, this theme embodies the concepts of strategic thinking, resilience, and the pursuit of personal development. It reflects the transformative process in medicine, where perseverance leads to breakthroughs.
The 10th edition of the H.E.A.R.T. conference, 'Chain Reaction,' celebrated a decade of intellectual discourse and visionary strides. As young doctors, we shape the future of healthcare, understanding that every decision we make, every patient we treat, sets off a cascade of effects that define our professional journey and impact the lives of many.
Throughout life, we learn that there is always a light that illuminates the pathway toward success.
But in front of the vastness of the medical sphere, how could you expand your horizons without proper advice?
We explored how to stay in touch with the 'me'-the sense of purpose and ambition-in order to best contribute to the 'we'-the teamwork that is standard in patient care.
Readjusting our personal and professional perspective, reconnecting with others and with our personal priorities during a time of transition
A collaborative view of the pandemic response with medical doctors, psychologists, public health professionals and patients
Learning to value our community's resources, alongside with expanding the network of knowledge
Exploring our generation’s role in the future of medicine, our abilities and the challenges which define us
Emphasizing the need to actively get involved in creating our own educational opportunities
Connecting the professional side with the personal one in order to explore the medical doctor’s role in our society
Raising awareness of the importance of communication with professionals from related fields
Promoting our local mentors' achievements in science and medicine, the beginning of a proactive mindset
HEART 2025
In chess, a piece with limited movement and scope can cross the battlefield, step by step, and reach the farthest rank of the board. There, it can become the most versatile and powerful piece in the game – the queen.
Thus, HEART proudly presents its 11th edition, ‘Queening the Pawn’. More than a rule of chess, this transformational move is a metaphor for resilience and empowerment.
It is a call to arms for every individual—patient, practitioner, and advocate alike—to recognize our agency and reclaim the narrative: we are not mere player, we are the game makers themselves.
But no pawn reaches the final rank alone. Each piece on the board plays a role in clearing the path, protecting the vulnerable, and creating opportunities for progress. Together, we can build a healthcare system that thrives on unity, compassion, and shared purpose.
This is your invitation to step into your power, to lead, to heal, and to inspire. In May 2025, let science meet the heart and claim the future we deserve. Let’s queen the pawn together!
